or day, and in any place, and proclaim in loud
tone: II own this man. He dare not deny it.

completely in my power. He dare not refuse to
do anything tell him. To prove nv assertion

of my voice to champagne" Imagine the situa-
ton should this be sprung upon the unfortunate
loser in a crowded cafe, or at a business meet
ing, or at banquet! It was mutually agreed
that matter how offensive the tone or man
nor might be the loser dare not resent it. Tho
manner in which the gentleman who got on the
wrong side of the fence avoids the gentleman
who got on the right side in crowded places is
amusing, to say the least. He has been living
in dread since election day.
